At the concusion of services Rev.
R. E. L. Kirkland, pastor of the First
Congregational church, Tampa, Fla.,
was the storm center in a near riot
in which the police interfered, ar
resting six persons. In a written
statement he declared he had been
kicked by some .of the women. The
cause of the outburst was an attack
made by Reverend Kirkland in his
sermon on a former pastor in connec
tion with alleged misappropriation of
church funds. Strained relations have
existed between Reverend Kirkland
and members of his congregation for
some time.

“Not event a presidential election
will be able to make business bad
in 1912,” declares a close observer
of business conditions. ‘“There may
be flurries in Wall street,” he con
tinued; “speculation may be hamper
ed and Wall street may not enjoy
the year as much as it might, but
the real business of thé country is on
a firm basis and is going to be good.”
And this pretty well represents the
general idea among men who are in
touch witr conditions throughout the
country. The big crop means good
pusiness for the railroads; .this in
turn goes a long way toward-insur
ing the steady demand for steel.: With
the railroads and steel men profitably
_busy, hard times would be difficult
to bring about. S

A 24-hour battle, in which the Turk

The physical and mental condition
of the Rev. C. V. Richeson of Boston
is” so unfavorable that his trial on
January 15, the date set, will be an
absolute impossibility in the opimion
of his counsel. “Perhaps his wounds
may bhe in a fayorable condition,”
says a statement from his lawyer,
“but his general and mental condition
ig far from favorable, and I believe
an early attempt to put him on trial
at so early a date would cause . col
lapse which would delay-the trial in

Control of state authorities by in
ferior United States courts has de
veloped to such an extent that the
people are becoming impatient, de-‘
clared Gov. Simeon E. Baldwin of
Connecticut at the opening of the
twenty-seventh annual meeting of the
American Historical association at
Buffalo, N. Y., and the eighth annual
meeting of the American Political
Science association in joint session.
If some of the recent court decisions
are not disaffirmed, Governor Baldwin
said, the judiclal power of the United
States will extend to any justifiable
contriversy arising in any state, al
though pertaining to mere matters of
iocal concern.
A dispatch from London states that
the Russian government has decided
to suppress disorders at Tabriz and
other disturbed Persian towns. The
dislocation of the telegraph lines
makes it impossible to get a reliable
narrative o fthe outbreaks, Yet it
cannot be doubted that a situation of
ihe gravest complexity has arisen.
The proclamation of martial saw at
Teheran following the dismissal of W.
Morgan Shuster by the Persian cabi
net and the fragmentary reports re

Russian soldiers at Resht are caus

The Persian cabinet notified W. Mor
gan Shuster, the American treasurer
general of Persia, of his dismissal
from that office. This follows the
decision of the national council and

It was announced at the white
house that the report of the army
medical officers who have examined
Charles W. Morse, convicted New
York banker, serving sentence in the
Atlanta, Georgia, Federal penitenti

terference by the president and the
pardon will not be granted at this

examination of Morse in the military

the banker is being treated under

Several thousand rural free deliv
ery letter carriers are barred from
active participation in politics by an
executive order signed by President
Taft. The order forbids the rural
letter carriers from pernicious activ

service commission to dismisss any
of them found to be so engaged. The
rural carriers are not to be denied
the right of political belief and dis
cussion of political issues, but their
active participation in politcal affairs
will be stopped.
Senator Works of California will at”
tempt to attach to the Sherwocd pen

hibiting any special pension bills, and
making ineligible for pension any per

stop the flood of special . pensions
which are passed by congress at each

pensions is framing a substitute for
the Sherwood bill, which would scale

Clay Products Greatly Increased.
According to the quarterly report
which State Geologist S. W. McCallie
submitted to the state geological
board, the percentage of increase in
the value of the clay products for
1910 was 10.35 per cent over i 909.
This, says Mr. McCallie, was a
greater increase than was shown by
any other state with the exception of
West Virginia and Arizona.
The report shews, however, that
while the increase in clay products is
encouraging, the pottery industry is
inot coming up to the standard. He
‘states that Georgia at present pro
‘duces only the lower grades of pot
‘tery, for instance, red earthenware,
stoneware, yellow and Rockingham
wares, which do not compare very
favorably with the higher class pot
tery of other states. 4
- In conducting its investigations the
past quarter the department has had
the services of Dr. T. Poole Maynard,
assistant geologist, who spent prac
tically the entire quarter investigat
ing the state deposits of Georgia,
Northern Farmers Invade Georgia
That within the next few years the
best of Georgia land that is /now.for
sale will be owned by Northern peo
ple is the consensus of opinion among
local real estate and railroad people.
There are indications and reports
that much more land is to be sold in
the next three months to Northern
farmers than for any similar period
In the history of the state.
This forecast is based upon hard,
substantial facts, as follows:
There has never been a lack of
farm land on the market in Georgia.
This is due to the fact that the state
is not settled as thickly as it should
be. Land in south Georgia, and in
fact in many other sections of the
state, is as good as any in the world
—the valley.of the Nile not excepted.
The demand for land in the South
by Northern farmers was first felt
in Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, and
other Southern states. More recently
they have begun to investigate Geor
gia land and are coming this way
next. This year has been an excep
tionally good one with the small farm
ers of Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, New
York and other Northern states.
They have made money and are look
ing toward the South and Georgia for
investment.
It is not only the fact that farm
lands are in many instances much
cheaper in this territory than in the
more crowded agricultural districts
of the North that prompts the small
farmers to come this way, but the
matter of climate and soil fertility is
even of greater importance.
They are now raising one erop, but
by coming to Georgia and following
the instructions of the State Agricul
tural college at Athens they can raise
two and three crops. This is espe
cially true as to food crops. The
long summers, mild spring and fall
give them advantages they do not
now enjoy.
The startling statement was recent
ly made by an Atlanta commission
merchant that 80 per cent of the veg
etables consumed in Atlanta were
shipped in from other sections. This
alone emphasies the chances here for
hundreds of good truck farmers from
the North.
Every first and third Tuesday in
October, November, and December
has brought hundreds of prospectors
from the North; but the local passen
ger agents say they are advised that
beginning in January there will be an
extraordinary influx of farmers into
Georgia—greater than ever in his
tory. »
George, Cordele Judge.
As has been anticipated, Governor
John M. Slaton appointed Walter F.
George, solicitor general of the Cor
dele circuit, to the superior judgeshiip
of that circuit to succeed Judge U.
V. Whipple, resigned. Max E. Land,
former judge of the city court of Cor
dele, was named as solicitor to suc
ceed Mr. George.
Both of the newly appointed offi
cers will assume their duties on Jan
uary 1, the date that Judge Whipple's
resignation, placed in the hands of
the governor on December 15, takes
effect.
Both Judge Land, who was a can
didate for .the superior court judge
ship in the Cordele circuit against
Judge Whipple and was only defeated
by a few votes, and Solicitor Generzal
George have been prominently spok
en of for the place, but several days
before the appointment it was under
stood that George would be named as
judge and Land as solicitor. Both of
ficers will have three years to serve
